Shadows flickering - P3D V3

Recommended Posts

Does anyone had this problem with object shadows (autogen and simobjects) flickering? Know how to fix it?

I had some flickering flying over the Rocky Mountains two days ago, at the mountain peaks. It looked like the shadows at the tops of the mountains were flickering, but I turned off shadows and still saw it. Not sure what it was but when I got to an area away from the tallest mountain peaks, it stopped. never have seen that in 2.5

I've noticed that reflections on the coast flicker quite a bit. I've ended up turning them off for everything but clouds.

Anyone have the cockpit shadows flicker? Seems like with a 1 degree change of view (track IR or panning) the shadow gets dimmer or brighter).

I have to set shadow quality to ultra to get rid of it.

On V3? Which windows? Even with ultra I get this issue.

 

I´m using V3, windows 10, last nvidia driver.

No I didn't, I've only set them on as I seem to have improved performance on v3.

I have the shadows flickering in v3 and i had in v2.5 too.

After few tests, and with shadows setting at ultra too, i decided to turn on only the clouds and my airplane shadows, that seems to work fine.

 

But i'll be happy, if somebody knows how to, if i could use the simobject shadows without flickering :)

W7-64, last driver. No flickering of tree- or building shadows on ultra-setting!

 

I'm allways using 4*SGSSAA, maybe that helps.

(still wondering how somebody can live without it... and yes, very smooth...)

Will try my windows 7 later. I guess its something windows 10 related + Drivers for windows 10. I don´t know.
